"The meeting will please come to or.
der" called the dignified natron who
officiated as president of the regular
weekly meeting Of the Pcrcival Square
Church Relief society.
AT our last meeting. ladies" spoke
the president, "a resolution was adopted
providing for systematic plan Of char.
table work. The city was divided into
districts, and each member of this society
was assigned one district, with the under
standing that she should conine herself
to that particularly defined field of labor.
We are now assembled for the purpose
Of listening 10 your several reports, and
TO act upon whatever recommendations
may be made concerning the appropria-
ton and expenditure Of money. The
first thing in order is the reception of re-
ports from those ladies to whom districts
were assigned"
After brief pause Mrs. Precise took
the floor and read from her gold bound
tablets some memoranda concerning half
a dozen poor families that she had Wis
tied. She asked for an order on the
society's treasurer for SEQ, TO be ex-
pended in the purchase Of food and
clothing. The appropriation was unhes-
itatingly made.
Mrs. Goodheart, a gentle faced lady,
next narrated a touching incident Of
poverty and distress that had come under
her observation the day before. She had
thought best to relieve the sufferers with
out drawing ON the funds OF the society.
Mrs. Closefst asked for t2 10 buy a
pair Of shoes for her wasberwoman' 8
little girl. The ladies' exchanged signifi-
cant glances, but no one voted against
the appropriation.
Mrs Quicktemper regretted that i'm.
perative social engagements had pre-
vented her from giving any attention TO
her district, but the next week she hoped
TO be able 10 devote almost entirely to
the good work.
"Mrs. President" said Mrs. Jealous,
"Miss Prim and myself took the liberty
yesterday Of encroaching upon Mrs.
Quicktemper's territory. and we found
one Of the most deplorable instances Of

and durkened room she shuddered at the
thought that human beings should be
obliged TO dwell in such place.

ing To Johns reasoning. could live al.
most anywhere.
The appearance of the room has moi
changed since the visit Of Mrs. Jealous
and Miss Prim the day before, save that
the tempestuous winds had driven the
snow in through the broken window and
covered the rough board floor with cold
white mantle. The little iron cot in the
corner was partly concealed by the fast
falling shadows of the approaching night.
Even there. too, the snow had found It's
way and nestled in queer little drifts
about the outstretched human form on
the cot. At the head of the bed knelt
little Dan. his face pillowed upon his
mothers bosom and his thick brown curls
radiant with glistening snowilakes. No
sound was heard, not even the breathing
OF the two unconscious figures in the
corner. The wind outside had died
away, and the snow fell lightly and ST.
lently into the street below.
Hurry, John, and get up good
blaze!' spoke Mrs. Quicktemper. And
John with his foot cleared away the snow
from the fireplace, and on the ashes Of
poor Dams box soon had bright, roar
ing fire. The sparks danced merrily
about, and formed a striking contrast to
the shifting snowflakes outside. The
glimmering light chased the dark shadows
away, and revealed distinctly every OBJ
ject in the apartment Mrs. Quicktemper
stepped forward with outstretched hand
TO awaken the sleeping objects Of her
bountiful but tardy charity. A gesture
from John, whose quick eye had in
staDtly in the light read the fate Of
mother and child, caused her to pause,
and with blancbed cheek and fearful
eyes she heard:

Married a skeleton.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 23.-The skeleton Of
the Ninth and Arch streets Dime Museum,
w. j. Coffcy, was married tonight to Miss
Eva Cartwright, OF Norristown, at the pas
toral residence Of Rev. DR.. Chapman.
The makeup of the skeleton was faultless.
His clothes sat well upon him, and would
easily fit medium-sized man weighing
40 pounds. His legs, arms and trunk
had evidently been well-padded, for moth
ing about the set Of his garments
would indicate that he did not carry
about an average amount Of flesh. His
mustache and goatee were carefully wax
ed and combed, and his eye-glass was in
position. The lady whose choice fell upon
the skeleton is decided blonde Of about
twenty-eight, and Of fair appearance,
weighing about one hundred and thirty
pounds, Coffey possibly weighs fifty
pounds, and is about the same age as his
bride

Strong Clrcumstantial Evidence Developed
Against the Chicago Man, Lawrence
Krug.
CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-It is now certain that
Lucy Heidelmeyer was poisoned. Prof.
Haines, Of the Russ Medical College, has
completed chemical analysis OF
her stomach. He found traces OF
arsenic in every vital part. 1t was ad-
ministered in such liberal quantities that
the only wonder is that the girl lived as
long as she did. Captain Setback has also
ascertained that Lawrence Krug, the girls
stepfather, who is being held to await the
result Of the investigation, lived for long
while with celebrated chemist in Ger
many, and there gained an extensive kowl-
edge of the deadly qualities Of various
poisons. Yesterday Professor Hainos
began an analysis Of the remains OF
Krug's third wife, which were
exhumed for that purpose last Thursday.
The officers think they have q strong case
Of circumstantial evidence against Krug.
The inquest on the step-daughter win be
resumed this week, and inquiry redoubled
as to the four other deaths charged against
Krug He has authorized the sale Of two
houses belonging TO him in order TO raise
money to defend himself in the criminal
court

TOLEDO, o., Jan. 23.-The ice in the Maui
NEE River opposite Toledo let go about 3
O'Clock this afternoon and carried away
about $50 feet Of the Union railroad
bridge. The ice abreast Of Toledo was
very soft, but that in the upper river was
from twelve to eighteen inches thick, and
has withstood the thaw well. 1t has
piled up against the Pennsylvania rail-
road bridge, and there is danger that
at least 400 feet of that structure will be
wrecked. Below the city the river is shall
low, and much Of the ice that passed down
is mbedded in the mud, forming gorge,
and at Q Q, clock the water in the river had
raised three feet above the average stage.
A dispatch from Turkey Foot Rock, fifteen
miles above, says that the ice is piled up
in the river % feet high and the water is
overnowing the bank, doing much dam

AN ICY HARBoR.
Over One Hundred Men Reported
Lost by the Sudden Breaking
Up of Ice.
Thrilling Escapes and Heroic Rescues Re.
. lated by Survivors : Afioat on Cake oi
Ice In Niagara River.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Jan. 2l.--Breaking up Of
the ice in this end OF Lake Erie, yes
terday afternoon, brought CONSERVATION
to many homes in this city. More than the
usual number Of men were out on the ice,
and it was reported early in the evening
that over one hundred had perished. SO
many different routes were taken by the
men TO reach the shore in safety that
many did not get home till to-day. Owing
10 the varied character OF men engaged In
fishing the full number Of missing men
can not be learned. A sensational
scene was the trip Of William Williams
and John Clark down Niagara river
on small cake of ice, The men foated
down the river as far as the International
bridge before Patrick 0'Brien and James
Hoolihan were able TO overtake and res
cue them. The ice cake was not Of the
most substantial kind, and their escape
from the perilous situation Is regarded as
remarkable George Bowman, barber,
and an old fisherman, was one Of the last
men in. He was as far out as any one, and
knew by the motion of his lines in the
afternoon that the ice was moving. He
soon started and finally succeeded in
lunuiIp near Iu1 NltWr hNc lhiico ooubh
Of here about 10 O'Clock at night. Near
Rocky Point number OF narrow es-
capes were witnessed. A fisherman said
that on looking behind him, while hurry
ing TO the shore, he saw man swimming
across chasm, fully thirty feet wide.
What the swimmers fate was he could
not say, as he had all he could do to look
| out for himself. Another said that while
n man was standing on a cake Of ice with
his dog and sled the cake suddenly tipped
and the man, dog and sled, slipped into the
water and disappeared. He was not seen
| TO come to the surface. Edward Hyland
No. of the life-saving crew, had a thrill
| ing experience. He was long distance
up the lake fishing, with his dog
and sleigh, and finding the ice commencing
TO move, started for shore, but his dog was
| frightened, and refused to stir step with
the load Of fish. Hyland knew he was los
/ ing precious moments, but didn't want tc
lose his dog and fish, and tried every effort
TO get the animal TO move. AT this mo
| ment the ice beside him cracked and part
ed, the seam running a long distance
either way from where he stood. Still he
hesitated The crack between him and
probable safety grew broader. Finally h'
threw the sled across, and, abandoning
the dog to its fate, sprang across the
widening chasm, and made his way safely
to shore, dragging the sled Of fish aftel
| him

KILLED WITH oHLoRoFoRM.
The Noted Lion Kennedy Put Out of His
Misery.

BRIpoEroRr, Jan. 20--The noble African
lion Kennedy, aged twenty years and val
ued at 5000, who has delighted the chill
dren all over the country, as he rode
perched on one Of the large chariots in the
street pageants OF the great Barnum Lon
don Circus, was killed yesterday in this
city in the presence OF fifty spectators. Mr..
Barnum aud nearly all the physicians OF
the city were present. The huge beast has
been suffering for the past year with spinal
meningitis, and the case was pronounced
incurable. II has been a question how TO
best kill the animal without causing an
uproar among the hundreds OF Gagged
beasts. Finally 1t was decided to use
chloroform, and DR.. Robert was ap-
pointed executioner. George Johnson,
